Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The proposed study will establish the feasibility, acceptability and credibility of a novel live video dyadic resiliency intervention, Resilient Together for Dementia (RT-D), aimed at preventing chronic emotional distress and preserving quality of life among dyads at risk for chronic emotional distress early after a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia (ADRD).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Both persons living with dementia (PWDs) and their spousal care-partners experience high levels of clinically elevated emotional distress, which can become chronic without treatment and negatively impact the health, quality of life, communication, and care-planning of both partners. A tailored dyadic intervention, such as the proposed Resilient Together for Dementia, delivered over live video to this at risk population during the window of opportunity when PWDs can participate has the potential to prevent chronic emotional distress and preserve quality of life for PWDs and their loved ones.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Exclusion Criteria
